03 - 1½ teaspoons kosher salt
04 - 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

→ Fries

11 - 1¾ pounds russet potatoes, peeled and cut into fries
12 - 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
13 - ½ teaspoon salt

# How To Make It:

01 - Preheat the oven to 425°F. Position a wire rack on top of a baking sheet.
02 - Toss the cut potatoes with vegetable oil, salt, and pepper. Arrange in a single layer on the wire rack. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, turning once halfway through, until fries are golden and crispy.
03 - Combine softened butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, thyme leaves, lemon juice, and salt in a bowl. Chill in the refrigerator for 10 minutes to meld flavors.
04 - Pat steaks dry with paper towels. Rub evenly with olive oil, kosher salt, and black pepper.
05 - Heat a heavy skillet or cast iron pan over high heat. Sear steaks for 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until medium-rare, adjusting time to preferred doneness.
06 - Transfer steaks to a plate and top each with a generous spoonful of garlic herb butter. Allow to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
07 - Plate the steaks alongside the crispy fries. Offer additional garlic butter on the side if desired.
